The image above is of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and it is currently displayed at the Kennedy Space Center.
This rocket was created by Rocket Scientists which is a branch of Aerospace and it has opened up many possibilities to NASA. It was a very successful project that required extensive work and its major accomplishments include delivering vital construction elements to the International Space Station and flying a seven-member crew to the Hubble Space Telescope. With the help of Aerospace Engineers and Rocket Scientists, we can make successful projects like these and many more!
